Superstar Ranveer Singh is starring in Yash Raj Films’ Jayeshbhai Jordaar, a big-screen family entertainer that will present a new brand of hero and heroism that is rare in Indian cinema. Yesterday, Ranveer launched the first song from Jayeshbhai Jordaar – Firecracker to great fanfare and frenzy at a college in Mumbai. Ranveer, who arrived in style at the event, danced his heart out with the college students who participated with great enthusiasm. Ranveer received a standing ovation from the students at the end of the event for being the showman that he is. He truly brought the house down with his performance. The energy was palpable that the song is going to hit it out of the park and looks like Ranveer has broken the internet with his endearing item boy avatar in the song.
A thrilled Ranveer says Firecracker is the most memorable song in his filmography! He explains, “There are some songs that instantly pop out to you when you hear them at the audio level, and Firecracker is definitely one of those. Maneesh, when he made me hear it, he built my expectations – Oh my God, Vishal-Shekhar has smashed it, you’ve got to hear the song! So, I was already going in with expectations. In spite of that, it exceeded all my high expectations. I was like wow! This is a smash hit.”
Ranveer reveals he had the same reaction when he heard his chartbuster Nashe Si Chadh Gayi from Befikre! He says, “I remember having the same reaction when Adi (Aditya Chopra) made me hear Nashe Si Chadh Gayi when Ali made me hear Tune Maari Entriyaan. It’s in the first 20 to 30 seconds that you are just hooked on to the song. That’s what happened with Firecracker for me. It was an instant hit with me.”
He adds, “And it’s proving to be a hit with people which all of us are very grateful for. The accurate interpretation of the lyrics is a father is singing this about his daughter and I think that it’s a lovely expression. I am really happy about the song and happy that it’s being appreciated.”
A hilarious satire on society – Jayeshbhai Jordaar, produced by Maneesh Sharma, also stars Arjun Reddy fame Shalini Pandey, who debuts on Bollywood’s big screen opposite Ranveer. The film has been directed by debutant Divyang Thakkar and is releasing worldwide on May 13, 2022.
